That's what they can't seem to grasp. They put out movies that A)People won't buy B)Cost too much for a slightly better picture

If they released movies people WANTED to see in HD/BR, then maybe they'd be selling. I never understood why comedies like that even merited an HD presentation anyways. I mean, honestly, "Dude, Where's My Car?"? What will benefit from an HD/BR release? I tell you now, the target audience won't have $40 to spend on it, when they can buy the DVD for as I've seen it in some places, for less than $10.

I found this news in the www.dvdtimes.co.uk website. More Blu Ray titles frpm Fox/ MGM for April!....all announced from the annual Consumer Electronics Show in the U.S.!

Fox Home Entertainment and MGM Home Entertainment have announced the US Region A Blu-ray Disc release of 7 titles on 3rd April 2007. Sadly all but two are barebones releases, while retail is $39.98 SRP each.

Also upcoming from the SPHE catalog are Hostel, Jerry Maguire and A Few Good Men.

Lionsgate Home Entertainment announced the studio’s upcoming slate of titles on the Blu-ray Disc format. Headlining the announcement is one of the format's first-ever TV DVD releases as the darkly comic Weeds will be offered in high definition. Also announced are the Marvel Animated Series titles Ultimate Avengers and Ultimate Avengers 2 alongside some of the studio’s most popular catalog titles including Dirty Dancing and Basic Instinct.

Some of these titles should be interesting, but why would studios release some c**p movies like "Waiting" onto Blu Ray and HD? What a waste of good disc with movies not many people really like much.
